    18:56 For some backstory on John Rocker, and why he's so hated:
    Rocker was a relief pitcher who played for the Atlanta Braves from 1998-2001. He put up 88 saves and 322 strikeouts over his entire 6 year career, which is pretty okay.
    In 1999, he was interviewed by Sports Illustrated, and was asked whether he'd ever play for the Mets or the Yankees. He replied, and i quote (in full, this is the full quote from his Wikipedia page):
    "I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-wracking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"
    Yeah, some pretty fucked up stuff.
    He also admitted to using steroids, but that's nowhere near as bad.
